Since the girl's room is almost finish, I wanted to venture away from that for a second. But believe me I have been working very hard to get this room done. I'll show you when I'm done, I promise.

I have been thinking about curtains for the formal living and dining room and maybe some new throw pillows for the family room. I had been to Hancock and Joanns but none of those fabrics spoke to me. I came across Calico Corners online. They had some nice stuff, much nicer than what I was used to seeing. I looked up store locations and saw there was one near me. Woop woop, field trip!!! I made my way there and as soon as I entered the doors I was in awe. The fabrics are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s.

It would play so nicely with my other furniture. A girl can dream right?

My curtains in the family room are blue and brown so I want to keep the same base color throughout the rest of the main floor. I have really started to like the Dwell Studio fabrics and they had some great patterns. I could so see these as pillows in the family room.

I left the store with a few samples. All the fabrics were beginning to overwhelm me. Too many choices of beautifulness. Yep, that's a word. I would love to use some pattern as curtains but I ask myself, "Would I tire of it quickly?", "Am I picking the right one?" I tend to play it safe and use solid curtains and use the pattern for the throw pillows. I see so many great inspiration pictures of rooms with patterned curtains but I chicken out. I also wanted to try to sew my own curtains so the thought buying expensive fabric just to take it home and ruin it scares me. I think I'll stick to pillows for right now. At least I can no-sew those. Not sure when I'll even get to the formal rooms. So many projects in my head!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!
